Also the docker images now have a major tag v2 that should keep your installation up-to-date on the stable branch.
Do I need to update the IMMICH_VERSION tag in my .env file to v2?
It’s what I did. Or you could keep it on a fixed version.
Finally it will be easier to search my vast catalog of memes.


That’s AWESOME. I hope Nextcloud gets better at this soon. So far I’ve been needing to spend some time renaming the files from 64 character CDN hash names to tags like
"Monkey,gibbon,spin,woop,reaction.gif"It’s worked somewhat well so far if I try to keep it as simple and obvious as possible.
That’s what I’m waiting for as well. Online meme services are failing.
Still crutching on containers?
There’s always one of these comments and it’s always incredibly similar.
What would you prefer and why? Bare metal?
Gotta chime in with a +1 for bare metal too…
Ideally yea. Rpm package with various architectures. 90% of other software is able to do it. I only use docker for immich and this would remove a dependency for me.
Well…Docker is my only dependency.
Why though? When you run multiple services on your machine, conflicts between these can cause headaches. Updating them is also often not trivial on bare metal. Let alone migrating to a newly set up machine (I suppose you could automate that with something like ansible)
I run jellyfin, plex, mattermost, peertube, minecraft, all under one host. Never had anything conflict and just upgrade the rpms. Some of them use the same postgres database. Thats how I prefer to do things. I will use docker if absolutely forced, I know how, understand its easier to deploy etc. but I would rather it be the choice of the user instead of the software. Or if not rpm let me get in the source and run it.
(…) would rather it be the choice of the user (…)
And that’s totally okay.
Stupid
How so?
Containers are better than bare metal in every way
Every way?
Well, apart from simplicity and security I suppose… and networking…
Oh, and storage…
But, before you think I’m arguing with you, I’m not… Containers have their place, VMs also, they are just for different uses.
In this case, I have a NAS, with Immich installed directly on it and I don’t have to mess with any abstraction layers… and it all plays nice with the other applications.
Maybe yours is different… but mine is better on bare metal.
Containers are better than any other option, so of course they’re being used! I’m gunna use containers even harder!
Always and forever!
Have they added the ability to rotate your photos yet?
I don’t see an ability to rotate in the web app. It’s been available for a long time in the mobile app though.
It’s been available… “Kind of”
It creates a copy of your photo and rotates that. Leaving the original. Which I guess I can see being useful sometimes but it’s very annoying in practice last I checked it.
I find that the existing search also kind of does ocr
Somewhat. I’m guessing this would be proper full OCR, perhaps even selectable. Still scanning.
The OCR job is running rather slow though. It does about 3 photos per second with 8 jobs concurrency on a Ryzen 7900.
My library of 12.5k images took about 7 hours on my N100.
What kind of processing is happening really under the hood, is there an image preprocess, lang detection, script detection, orientation, etc?
My i3 7100 is about to get a workout
Laughs in i5-4590
i7-2600k here…
Yours is faster haha. It’s the 7100T which is the 35w low power model that the Lenovo mini PCs came with. The only advantage is it has decent video decode hardware so it can handle media transcoding better.
I5-2450M for the win
Xeon X5670 😆
Im undecided whether being slow is or is not a problem, simply because it’s one of those things that you do once to the entire library and then it’s just half a dozen fotos a day
Oh it’s not a problem on ongoing basis. Just the initial scan is gonna take forever here. 150K photos…
Thats just 14h tho, not too bad.
The solution to that is to delete 130k photos :)
I started culling mine years ago, still wading though
😆
